Unfortunately, the Creative writers have been unable to meet either physically or virtually. However, we have all continued to write at home and shared our efforts with each other. Most of us have contributed to the impressive U3A magazine as well as volunteering to read our pieces of writing in person to the Stockport Talking Newspaper for the blind. We are all looking forward to more normal times and meeting up as one again!

The Creative Writing group continues to thrive with a core of seven regular and committed writers. Most of us enjoy writing for ourselves and we enjoy sharing our efforts and listening to the criticism and advice of fellow members. We all have different strengths and are prepared to lead sessions depending on our interests.

During the past year, we have looked at short stories and different styles of poetry and we have attempted to replicate the formats. To improve our own editing techniques, we have looked at a professional writer’s critique of an unpublished piece of writing.

Following the success of our anthology last year, we became involved with Stockport Talking Newspapers and several members of our group have recorded their original pieces for the newspaper.

As Bramhall U3A will soon be celebrating its tenth anniversary, we are currently working on a new anthology simply entitled 'Ten'. Copies will be available to U3A members and their friends during the celebration later this year with profits going once again to The Wellspring.
